Tutoring Session #14
February 21, 2015
Because this was the weekend after the CIES session ended, I decided
to do something a little more fun, and a little more listening heavy than
previous sessions with Hector. We went to the International Bazaar, an annual
FSU event hosted by the Center for Global Engagement (though the event itself
is in the student union). There were many student cultural organizations
present, including the Peruvian Student Organization, which I was really
excited about since Hector is from Peru, and I got to learn a little about
traditional Peruvian cuisines.
Most of the organizations had samples of cultural food or drink such
as Mate and Inca Cola. There were also many performances like ring dance and
sitar.
As we walked around the booths, the organizations would explain
their purpose as well as information about upcoming events and important
cultural aspects. Hector and I utilized these experiences to become more
comfortable asking for clarification, and so he could have the opportunity to
converse with more native (and some nonnative) English speakers.
